MARSALA: 2015 COLOUR OF THE YEAR

The official colour of 2015 is ‘MARSALA’, a muted terracotta red shade. The hue of the moment is everywhere, so find a few key Marsala-toned pieces this Summer and you’ve got this!

“This earthy red has wine and a very warm brown underneath, which gives the feeling of groundedness, strength, and confidence,” says Leatrice Eisman, Executive Director of Pantone Color Institute. “It has a richness that lends sophistication. When you wear it’s it is a self-fulfilling prophecy—you’ll find you get positive reactions form others and it builds up your confidence.” Eisman explains that we’ve seen glimpses of marsala in the late ‘60s into the ‘70s and a touch in the ‘80s, but it’s a very modern hue that totally suits the times.
